Searching for a lender

[Tim B.]

I've a quick question.... I decided to start investing in real estate and have been browsing some duplexes. I found one that sparked my interest and called the realtor. She put me in contact with a lender who's running the numbers to see what I qualify for. My question is, should I shop different lenders or will this hurt my credit? I'm certainly going to need a loan to finance my investment (hoping to buy and hold rental properties).

Thanks!
